Answer 1

Answer:

A. "Give me blood. I will give you freedom" - Bhagat Singh

"Give me blood. I will give you freedom" - Subhas Chandra Bose.

• This famous slogan was actually given by Subhas Chandra Bose.

• He used this powerful call to action while addressing the Indian National Army (INA) in Burma (now Myanmar) in 1944 to motivate them to join the armed struggle against British rule.

• While Bhagat Singh was a revolutionary like Bose, he is most famously associated with the slogan :

"Inquilab Zindabad!" (Long Live the Revolution!)

• This slogan was originally coined by Maulana Hasrat Mohani but was popularized by Bhagat Singh through his speeches and his actions in the Central Legislative Assembly in 1929.

• Bal Gangadhar Tilak: Known as the "Father of the Indian Unrest," his statement became the foundation of the extremist wing of the freedom struggle.

• Mahatma Gandhi: The "Do or Die" (Karo ya Maro) slogan signaled a shift in Gandhi's strategy, indicating that the time for polite negotiation was over and the final push for independence had begun.

• Jawaharlal Nehru: His "Tryst with Destiny" speech is considered one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century, marking India's transition from British rule to a sovereign nation.
